Weekend Racing Review

LOTS of luck with a port hand start

Cheryn Croker and her crew of Daydream certainly had something to write home about (to LOTS – Ladies on Tuesday Sailing) after last week’s racing with Daydream in other Squadron events.

Daydream is the only LOTS crew so far to venture into Saturday racing with the Squadron, joining Division 4, and also racing in the Friday evening open club twilights.

Down to the line for International Yngling World Championship

By Peter Campbell

Defending World champion Maarten Jamin from The Netherlands and Australian champion Michael Nash are equal on points going into tomorrow’s final two races of the International Yngling Open World Championships being conducted on Sydney Harbour by the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron.

However, the Australia versus The Netherlands contest is not limited

to these two skippers.  Australia’s Hamish Jarrett is a close third, six points back and just one point ahead of Tom Otte, from The Netherlands. Any one of these four could end up the 2012 World champion in this one-design

keelboat class fleet of 45 boats.
